Avondale Samsara Syrah indulges the nose with aromas of soft oak, white pepper, fragrant violets, vibrant red berries and orange peel. Samsara presents a full-bodied palate with subtle nuances of plum, cherry, clove, cinnamon and pepper. A spectacularly balanced wine with a remarkably fruit-dominated palate. Taut tannins and a nice play of acidity provide seemingly endless length in the wine.

The organically grown grapes were harvested with great care in the early morning hours. Upon arrival at the winery, 10-15% of the grapes were fermented on the whole bunch while the remaining portion was destemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. After completion of natural fermentation with warmer temperatures between 30 and 32 º C, the wine was aged for 12-16 months in first, second as well as third-filled French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation was also completed in barrel. The wine was lightly filtered before bottling.
